Mute Employer Campaign Messages

Jaci
  • Updated

If you've received a campaign message from an employer or location that doesn't interest you, you can temporarily remove yourself from the send-list to avoid receiving any similar outreach for 90 days.

You can mute yourself from campaign messages by choosing one of the following options:

  • Employer outreach
    • You won't receive any campaign messages from the employer for 90 days. This includes messages sent from other users at the company.
  • Location outreach
    • You won't receive any campaign messages for the specific job location for 90 days. This applies to any Handshake-hosted jobs associated with the specified job location.
    • Note: To mute a location, the job promoted in the campaign must have a location listed.
Muting yourself only applies to campaign outreach. You may still receive bulk outreach or 1:1 messages.

Campaign messages are used by employers to highlight opportunities they think may interest you.

If you need to report a message in Handshake, refer to Safety: Report a Message.

 

 

Mute a Message via Campaign

1. In your inbox, locate the message you’d like to mute and click on it to open the full message.

2. At the bottom of the message, click the white button Not Interested.

3. In the pop-up that appears, select what you’d like to mute:

    • The company for 90 days

    • The location for 90 days
      (If the campaign does not specify a work location, the option to mute by location will not be available. In that case, you can only mute messages from the company.)

4. Once you've selected your preferred option, click the black Confirm button in the lower-right corner of the pop-up. The campaign message will then be moved to your Archived messages.

Note: Muting a campaign message temporarily does not affect your job preferences, and employers will not be notified that you’ve muted them.

 

Unmute or Unarchive messages

To access your archived messages and unmute a campaign, click the Archived tab under Inbox. Locate the muted campaign message and click the blue Unmute link.
